Colo­gne — The Colo­gne-based Zwei­rad-Einkaufs-Gemein­schaft eG (ZEG) has sold a majo­rity stake in its subsi­diary Euro­rad Deutsch­land GmbH (service bike leasing, Travel­bike) to the Düssel­dorf-based growth finan­cier Bencis Capi­tal Part­ners Deutsch­land GmbH. No details have been published about the purchase price or which Euro­rad majo­rity share the inves­tor now holds. BELGRAVIA & CO. advi­sed ZEG Zwei­rad-Einkaufs-Genos­sen­schaft eG on the tran­sac­tion of EURORAD to BENCIS.

With Bencis behind them, Euro­rad wants to set the course for growth. “Toge­ther with Bencis, the aim is to further expand the rele­vance of the successful company in a fast-growing market envi­ron­ment,” says ZEG head­quar­ters in Colo­gne. As part of the new part­ner­ship with Bencis, Euro­rad will grow by expan­ding its work­force and reali­zing new eMobi­lity offers.

At the same time, Eurorad’s goal for the future is “to be the service bike leasing provi­der of the trade for the trade. ZEG remains a share­hol­der in Euro­rad Deutsch­land GmbH. This enables dealers at the regio­nal loca­ti­ons to receive the best possi­ble support in acqui­ring leasing custo­mers. The sale of the shares is still subject to appr­oval by the anti­trust authorities.”
